Land survey guide
Why measure a plot before buying land
A pre-purchase survey helps confirm boundary, access, approximate area and mismatch with documents.
Safety note
This guide is for first checks only. If there is shock, sparks, burning smell, active leakage near wiring, unstable structure or anything you are unsure about, stop and call a qualified professional.
Land is too expensive to buy on assumptions. A survey before registration can prevent painful surprises later.
What you can check safely
- Ask for deed, tax receipt and previous sketch.
- Visit the plot and note access roads and neighbouring properties.
- Check if physical boundaries match the documents.
- Measure before making permanent construction plans.
- Keep copies of survey findings for your records.
What not to do
- Do not rely only on broker markings.
- Do not assume old compound walls are correct.
- Do not skip survey because the plot looks rectangular.
